How does one succeed in life?

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.
Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.
Saving $10,000 is a goal.
Making more friends is a goal.
Does not procrastinate.
Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.
What is the best true Hollywood story you know?
An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):
Hangs out with loser friends.
Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.
The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.
That's it for today.
Procrastinates a lot.
In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:
Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.
Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.
Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.
Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.
Ask yourself:
How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?
“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.
Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.
What I need from you?
I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?
Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.
